As one of the largest RIAs in the nation, we’ve built a culture of continuous growth, collaboration, and community—recognized with 15 consecutive “Best Places to Work” awards including Inc.com’s 2025 list, as well as national honors for community impact.
We lead the industry in aligning wealth, passion, and purpose to help our clients thrive. With over $30 billion in assets under advisement, 300+ teammates nationwide, and a dynamic, team-based approach, we’re growing fast—and we’re looking for driven, curious individuals to join our #OneTeam.

With this growth in mind, we are looking for a Senior Talent Partner to help us attract and hire the people who will shape the next chapter of Brighton Jones.

The role combines proactive sourcing, thoughtful assessment, trusted partnership with hiring leaders, and a high-touch candidate experience. We are looking for someone who brings strong recruiting judgment, curiosity about the business, and the persistence to build relationships with exceptional talent, including people who may not be actively looking for a new opportunity.

• A metrics-informed approach to managing pipeline activity, search progress, and recruiting outcomes.
• Strong interviewing and assessment skills, with the judgment to evaluate both capabilities and alignment with the organization’s values and ways of working.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build credibility with candidates, hiring leaders, executives, and cross-functional partners.
